Look at the offenders. They’ve never put a piece of trash where it belongs in their lives.

Have you seen their country of origin? It’s cultural and will take a generation for them to integrate. Disgusting behaviour but it’s a learned behaviour and will take education to change.

Thing is they should have researched and been willing to live by Canadian culture before they moved here.

We used to have a values test for all new immigrants being admitted into this country.

I live in an area without many Indians... and this shit is all over the local shooting spots.

u/KiloNorrth Jul 06 '26
While I don't disagree with this comment..
I do feel it's important to add, at least in my personal experience, my range is absolutely filled with members (mostly whites) who behave exactly like this. 99% of the time, at any given lane, i'll find heaps of shells and casings. Indoors and out.
I'll admit it's a little different from crown land, but in my opinion it's such an embarrassing aspect of our local community. I don't get why people feel that paying for membership excuses them of any cleaning responsibility.
Lets do better folks!

This is why we lost access to Sibbald years ago and Ghost wont be far behind. People bring out their trash to use as targets and then leave all their brass, shells, and packaging garbage everywhere. These public use range areas attract the worst of our community.

u/Significant_Step_517 Jul 05 '26
I had a round fly over my head once when I was fly fishing jumping pound creek, just about a half click from the bridge on homestead road. This was shortly after they shut the area down for shooting, some joker pulled up and put a round through the no-shooting sign, not knowing I was down range.

Hey man, you should report this to both the rcmp and conservation officers.

I'm not sure about that. Reporting it will hurt everyone. Quietly cleaning it up would be a better solution.
Sadly, not much good comes from working with the authorities in this stuff. Just ends up as a CBC article on why people should not have guns.

That is when someone places a camera and do “random” stops.
I hope you reported this and yes… some apparently only behave after a nice bite on the paycheck and some time away from privileges to reflect on what they do.
Fuck this !

Ghost is notoriously bad for it. I always bring one more trash bag than I need to clean my own stuff and I always bring it back full because there is always someone else's mess to be found. Sadly, all the pollution contributes to good arguments for banning shooting on crown land.

u/Large_Excitement69 Jul 05 '26
I don’t even go to Ghost anymore because of this and a lot of unsafe practices.

u/EnvironmentalFox7532 Jul 05 '26
Same as a few spots close to Edmonton I use to go to. I’m done with shooting at a few spots NE of Edmonton for the same reasons.
Just going to buy a membership at one of the gun clubs after hunting season. I have access to a large area of private land and all varmints I want to shoot for target practice not far from the city. But having access to club ranges and indoor will get me out more especially when it’s -30 come winter.

I'm a brown guy (not indian) and this infuriates me so much. Because I clean up after myself and treats others and my environment with utmost respect. But I'll be judged and made fun of.. just because the color my skin is the same as these asshats.

I agree although I don’t see why an immigrant of European ancestry shouldn’t be allowed to. We already have racially discriminatory gun laws so why not. Not all immigrants are the same

Looks like a pattern of total ignorance to the rules/safety and common sense practices by certain majority minority groups.

I would've told them to pick their trash and explain why it's important to keep these places clean (like anywhere else).

Yes because approaching a group of 5 armed people who probably not like to be told that they are wrong is a good idea

I can understand missing a shell here and there, especially if they're small... But this is just outright disrespectful and totally against what this country stands for

Last time I was in Ghost area the Conservation Officer told us they expect the area to be shut down shortly. It's the closest to Calgary and gets the most abuse.
We saw trees shot in half, trash piled in the trees, fields of shotgun shells. Genuinely depressing.

Sylvester Road FSR in Mission BC is a literal OCEAN of shells just like this, even though there is a shooting ban there. A woman had a stray bullet land in her car with her young son earlier this year.

This is disgusting.
After I moved I always wanted to go out on crown land to shoot, but I don't know anyone who would go with me. And this is definitely one of the reasons why I don't go alone.
I think I would also not feel safe around those guys.

I despise people like this.
At one range that were used to have memberships at, I would regularly pick up bags of trash at the handgun range.
Between this, and people not knowing how to safely handle firearms, we switched to a different range that requires references.

Sorry folks. Thread closed. Some people couldn't contain their hatred for those of Indian descent. 6 people were banned by Reddit Admins (not us subreddit mods) from this thread alone.
